I read widely and voraciously, with little discipline (although I have my bouts). And then I write about it -- sometimes a little, sometimes more (not sure how often I get to "a lot", so let's go with "more" instead). I'm a Mystery junkie and have been since I can remember, I love Urban Fantasy, I can't pass up good Science Fiction or Fantasy, I've been known to dabble in Chick Lit ('tho, honestly, I'm more comfortable in "Lad Lit"), even a decent Western will do the trick.

A Stab In The Dark kicks off its second season with my chatting with Ian Rankin. I'm adding this one to the regular rotation (and listening to some back episodes)

Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire -- McGuire's follow-up to the wonderful Every Heart a Doorway is almost as good -- this one tells the story of Jack and Jill (the sisters, not the hill-climbers) before they found their door and of the adventures they found on the other side, all leading up to having to go toe Eleanor West's Home. I tried to post about this yesterday, but sleep won out.

The Data Disruption by Michael R. Underwood -- Speaking of prequels, here's the "lost pilot" to the Genrenauats series. The price is right -- free. Check out the link for details.

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan -- yes, the gentleman I referred to above. Glad I saw that essay, because it lead me to this: "When a bookshop patron commits suicide, his favorite store clerk must unravel the puzzle he left behind." That's got the makings of a good one.

Lastly, I'd like to say hi and welcome to pandaduh for following the blog this week.
